The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres are set to clash at Petco Park on August 19, 2025, with the first pitch scheduled for 9:40 p.m. EDT. The Padres are favored in this matchup, reflecting confidence in their strong pitching and recent form.
In the pitching duel, Kai-Wei Teng of the Giants will square off against Nick Pivetta of the Padres.

The Padres, currently in fine form, have won four out of their last five games. They have also covered the spread in four out of these five games. The total for this matchup is set at 8 runs, indicating a moderately low-scoring game.
The Padres' bullpen has been taxed due to injuries and ineffectiveness from their back-end starting options. However, the middle-relief options have been working hard in the past few days. The Giants, despite striking out in 25.5% of their plate appearances in the last two weeks, have a .151 Isolated Power, showcasing their power despite their lack of consistent plate discipline.
Interestingly, the Giants have a strong preference versus ground-ball pitchers, with the third-worst OPS in baseball versus fly-ballers. This could potentially pose a challenge for Pivetta, who has been known for his ground-ball tendencies.
